Welcome to our _OOL, Notice there is No P in it. Please Keep it that Way

Lucy's first day in floaties and she found out she likes licking the water. Yum.

And this is why I so love summer...I must admit, I'm dreading the winter "lock down" even now.

Summer's Over

We tried to make the most of this last summer weekend and explored Tibble Fork Resevoir up American Fork Canyon. They had just stocked the resevoir with 1200 rainbow trout...so there were a lot of people fishing.
Sophie found a very large and friendly playmate.

We also joined Adam's family at the Utah State Capital to view an original copy of The Declaration of Independence. The wait was 3 hours to view it up close, so we chose to view from a far! But, still very cool. Adam's dad told us some family history...that their relative Edward Ruttledge signed the Declaration of Independence...and another relative, last name Seuele was an indentured servant on the Mayflower. So, I guess you can say we've come along way since indentured servitude...well...maybe.

A Whole Lot of Summer Fun!

Oh my. What to do about a whole summers worth of pictures? Well. Here we go.

First. Newport Beach with the Madsen Family. Fun, fun, fun.

Las Vegas Log Ride.




And of course, Grace turned 8! And we went to The American Girl Place. Adam wanted to know if we went for Grace or for me? I say, it was for both.

Adam was so jealous he had to get in the action.

And then we had a Bar-b-que at Grandma Davis' house...very remnicent of the good old days when we went there all the time when I was little.





Sophie lost two teeth.

And Grandpa Jack tries to light himself on fire! DAD! Really, the bbq almost killed him. href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeAZiMgNB4Vs4_7X0-c4y2AWzg21pbhrZO7hYxQPG3NDTk5qplDi6ZPehX9EOYpPUZB23iiIeZTTrqaL1WG-IO9Ep6aIce4IVTuimcN64ZrZWYTf-ilE5UP67KSAxOYdeGIFmXXxYddbXp/s1600-h/June-+July+2008+120.jpg">
And the kids had fun on the slip and slide.
